An herbal syrup that works great in cocktails, tea, and lemonade.
It does take some time to prepare so plan ahead. It's more flavorful if the mixture is shaken throughout the day while it infuses.
This syrup helps make a fantastic riff on a Bee's Knees but you may also find yourself adding it to unsweetened tea just as often!
Enjoy! If you have any feedback, contact information is in the footer.
